Disable sound and/or vibration while in Messages app?!

Hi!
I would like to know is there some option in the iOS where I could disable sounds and vibration while I'm using Messages app (app is open and the display is turned ON and I can see the message I recieved). This is very annoying when I'm using iMessages and getting a message every few seconds and then my phone vibrates constantly. It is of course OK if I'm not in Messages app but when I'm already using it I don't need a notification I got a message when I can see it for myself.

I'm having the exact same problem. I get a random text message ding for no discernible reason at least oncer per day. No alerts from apps, no email, no texts, no missed calls, no voicemails. It's not changing connection types between wifi, 3G, and edge. I know that the first gen iPhones sometimes dinged in that situation. If anyone knows what's causing this I would love to hear it.
Just to be clear I'm using a perfectly normal, not jailbroken, iPhone 4 running the latest software version.
Regards,
John G.

I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Facebook and Skype accounts in WP messaging app

Hello,
I recently got a Lumia 925 where I have problem seeing my fb and skype contacts in the messaging app.
The problem is only with my phone as when i log into outlook.com, I can see my skype and connected fb account contacts.
When on my phone, only old messenger contacts appear as available to chat with. (No FB, skype)
Is there something I could try that may fix the problem?
Thanks

Hi ManosR,
Anything happen prior to this concern? What are the troubleshooting that you tried to perform on your phone? How did you link these applications to your phone? For the Skype contacts, you will only see them if you are in the main Skype application. It will not be shown under the messaging thread. As per the Facebook contacts, make sure that your Facebook account is setup on the phone. You can check this by going to Setting > Email + Account > Check if your Facebook account is there. If not, you need to set it up from there.

Redundant, annoying and wasteful vibrating while texting

My phone is set to vibrate on silent (which it is, usually), so it vibrates to alert me to texts when I'm not in the messaging app. Which is great, that's exactly what it should do and what I want it to do. What I don't understand then, is why it continue to vibrate to every text I receive from a person, as I have their conversation open in the messaging app. It's as if Apple wants to "alert me" to a message in a conversation that I am actively participating in and can already see, in real time. It's completely unnecessary, redundant, very, very annoying, and wasteful of battery life. How do I turn this annoying feature off while preserving the ability to vibrate outside of the application (when it actually is a relevant alert)? I don't want to turn off "vibrate on silent," nor do I want to go off silent mode.
Currently running iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5.

I have the exact problem because I get a lot of texts. I just turn vibrate off and set notification for text as alert so it pops up on whatever I am doing
Give Apple some feedback about that https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

How can I disable iMessage notifications on iPhone while using Messages beta on Mac?

Hi all! I'm very excited about the new Messages app on my Mac, which allows iMessage between Macs and i devices! Just downloaded it right now and it's excellent! However, I notice a possible flaw in which whenever I receive a message from someone, it will notify me on both my Mac AND my iPhone! As you might imagine, it's pretty annoying given iMessages are flying through on my Mac. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop iPhone notifications when messaging on Mac. I hope this feature will be added in ASAP from Apple if it doesn't exist yet! Thanks in advance!

You would have to turn it off on the phone. Read receipts as referenced above is not related to your question at all.
I don't find it to be too irritating, but I don't message frequenly enough for it to get all that annoying.

I was sent pi- you know 3.14159 but a lot more characters, and it froze my ipad messages app, when ever I open it, it's just a blank screen and it eventually crashes!:( how can I fix this? I've tried a lot of stuff plz help

It's froze my ipad messages app. Plz help tell me what to do.

You can backup the iPad and then do a restore to factory condition which will completely wipe it: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. But, before doing that remember, it completely erases everything.
You then have to restore from a backup...if you have a backup from before the bad message, you can use that and be fine. If not, you would be better off setting up the iPad as new and then redownload your apps and music...you can do that by going to the app store and itunes and tap the Purchases button and redownload everything.
You will loose your photos and email, and such in the process, however. If you have iCloud, put the photos in PhotoStream and then use that to put them back on the iPad.
Without a good backup from just before the bad message, erasing is going to cause you a lot of work.

Media Encoder CC Problems - No sound and often crashes while rendering to Youtube 1080p 29.97 fps

I'm baffled by all of this.
I'm trying to render a clip similar to this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fprMxgfdpRo
except there are 8 equalizers and I have to do it for a 2 hour podcast. I have to do it in 10 minute clips because it will either crash every 2 hours of rendering, or it won't have sound, which seems like a common problem with AME. It is very difficult to get the sound to line up after the fact.
Here are my specs:
Windows 8.1
i7 - 3770K
AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition
16gb Ram
I can't seem to pinpoint a fix for this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

This is user to user forum. Some of us on Adobe side check forums once in a while to help users. Contacting support is the proper direct communication with Adobe. That said..
Try encoding uisng Software rendering instead of GPU. Look for "Renderer" just below queue panel and select "Mercury Playback Engine: software only". We have seens in some cases (on longer clips) where graphic card runs out of memory and causes application to mis behave or crash.
If that doesn't solve, let us know if you can encode that particular video to any other preset (Not Youtube). Just to see if this is common issue with all preset or particular one.

Notification sounds and alarm vibrate

How do I change the sound for notifications from third-party apps (e.g. App of the Day)? By notifications, I mean the banners on the lock screen or on the top of the screen. When I go to sounds in settings, there is no option for notification sounds (iOS 8.0.2). It only has voicemail, calendar and reminder alerts. Also, is it possible to turn off vibration for the alarm and timer?

Look in settings within the app itself. If the apps do not offer that setting within the app, you can't change the sound. Not all apps give you the option.

Is it possible to turn off the sound and just vibrate for incoming email?

Is it possible to turn off the sound on my Verizon iPhone 4 and just have it vibrate for incoming email. Can't seem to find any way to do this!

You could either flip the mute switch or go to Settings > Sounds > New Mail = Off

Pavilion dv6449us fan making grinding, rattling sound and some vibration

Its a fairly new HP laptop dv 6449us, but this thing sounds rough. I guess this is something I can't fix myself. Any suggestions out there? I'm tempted to try fixing it on my own, but there isn't a manual online at HP for such a thing. Any help?

hprattle,
Try cleaning it first: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01657439.
If the sound continues then a service/repair may be required and you should contact HP for support.

Safari won't print: "Error while printing" message

Recently updated to Safari 6.2, on on 2012 Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.5. Tried to print a page from Amazon, and received "Error while printing" message. I then have to force quit Safari. I am able to print from Indesign, OpenOffice, and the same Amazon page from Chrome with no problem, so the problem seems to lie with Safari.
I ran Disk Warrior, and rebuilt permissions, but the problem persists.
I am reluctant to call Apple and be told that I have to reinstall system software, this seems related to my recent software update of Safari.
Could use some suggestions here if anyone knows what the problem might be.

It might be the Safari cache or cookies in Safari in you want to try ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I got the iPad 2 for Christmas 32gb and for some reason it did not come with the green messages app. Is there any way to get this on my iPad or am I out of luck?

Ipad2 came without messages app. Please help me in figuring out why! :)

What version of iOS have you get (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Messages was introduced with iOS 5, so if you aren't on that then you can update to it and you should get the Messages app.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTnnes and copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

Images sent to and from the Message app show up Black.

When I am sent an image or I send an image in iMessage or as an MMS I can see the image when it's hits my phone or iPad but once I press it to open the image it's black. That's happening on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 (both running on 5.0.1 I have yet to update to 5.1). I cannot seem to get any image sent via iMessage or MMS to show up. I see them fine in emails and whatsapp but not the Message app.
Anyone able to advise on this?
Many thanks

I guess I was expecting to talk to people that new what they were talking about. All I did was ask a simple question and got nothing back from you that would solve the problem. Sorry but your sugestions did not help me. I'll wait to see if I get any other feed back. Don't get me wrong as I do appreciate your input, but it's not solving my problem. Why is apple making it so hard to get into the memory of this one app? I have never had a phone that I could not access all data until I got an iphone.
